Legally Blonde

Any opinions on this musical?? good or Bad??

Legally Blonde

I recently saw this musical with 2 teenage girls. I would say I did enjoy it, it is light and fluffy, amusing, nothing heavy, difficult or outstanding. It closely parallels the movie in storyline and feel. For a girls night out, mother/daugher it is perfect. If there are boys in the family they might prefer something else, for a couple there are many things more sophisticated. I got a good deal on broadwaybox.com

Legally Blonde

I haven%26#39;t seen it personally, but a good friend of mine has seen it twice and said it was great. He%26#39;s a guy with two teenage daughters. All three of them loved it. He said it was funny.

How would it compare to Hairspray??

We were thinking of waiting until we got into the City to get our tickets at the TKTS Booth but I can get seats 5 rows back int he orchestra for Legally Blonde. So I am wondering if I should just get them. We were just going to go with whatever show we could get tickets for but my only fear is that there are 3 of us and we would all like to sit together!!

I saw Hairspray as well, (not with the current cast) and I would say I preferred Hairspray. It%26#39;s just a bit edgier, more mature type of musical, but still a lot of fun.

I did enjoy Legally Blonde. (more than I thought I would after watching the movie prob 3 times with daughters). I also thought it was funny.

Remind us who is in your group? That may help lean more in one direction or the other.

3 ladies all in our 30%26#39;s, first time to New York for all of us. I have seen Mamma Mia in Toronto and one of the other girls has seen Blue Man group in Toronto. So other than that we are open. Were looking to see Wicked originally but it is not looking like we are going to. should have gotten tickets alot earlier for that. So we are just happy to see something with decent seats. that is my only concern with leaving it until we get there and buying our tickets at the tkts booth. Are the seats usually ok there?

Ahhh Yankeemom and I think alike. I saw both Hairspray and Legally Blonde with my daughters this year. I also saw Hairspray when it first opened several years ago with a group of girlfriends during a girlfriend%26#39;s trip to the city. You can%26#39;t go wrong with either of these shows. My daughters preferred Legally Blonde to Hair Spray. I liked them both but would give the edge to Legally Blonde. I think the female lead, Laura Bell Bundy, does a great job ';growning'; the character throughout the show. She seems smarter and edgier than Reese Witherspoon near the end of the show.

If you have a choice of buying tickets to Legally Blonde now or waiting on line at the TKTS window for Hair Spray, I would buy the Legally Blonde tickets now. The line for TKTS can be long and wouldn%26#39;t you rather be doing something else in New York City? Perhaps a drink with the girls or shopping or visiting Central Park or anything but standing in line....

Good luck with the decision. Both are good choices. Moms

My daughter wanted to see Legally Blonde on our trip to NY in June. It wasn%26#39;t a top choice for me, and since we paid full price for Lion King, I signed up for e-mail alerts for show discounts on broadwaybox.com and playbill.com. Learned about these sights on TA, both sights are free, and a discount just became available for Legally Blonde yesterday that runs through June 29. We got great seats that worked out to be half the price (152.15 for 2 tickets including fees). I%26#39;m glad to hear that so many have enjoyed the show. I too, have watched the movie with my daughter a couple of times, so wasn%26#39;t sure if I would enjoy the musical that much.

These discount sights are great, I like broadwaybox better, because it showed you exactly where your seats would be so you could see if you liked them or not. They also show seats to avoid.

I must admit, I saw Hairspray with original cast, and who can beat Harvey Fierstein? I thought Laura Bell Bundy did a very good job as Elle, so you can%26#39;t go wrong, and if you can get discounted tickets ahead of time, I agree with not wasting your time at the TKTS booth.

by way momstravel-maybe we should meet for a ';moms only';matinee one Wed? lol

We saw both last December. My vote is for Hairspray,

George Wendt as Edna Turnblad is something not to be missed!
